Versatile Electric Hoistfor Elevator Installation

RIGID electric hoists power the world's leading scaffoldless elevator installation methods — false car, car-as-platform, or traditional scaffolding. We build the lifting tool; you define the method.

The Lifting Tool, Not the Method

RIGID provides the hoist, adapters, and accessories — the reliable power source behind any elevator installation method.

Your Method. Our Power

Every elevator manufacturer has its own preferred installation process. RIGID doesn't define your method — we give you the lifting muscle to execute it efficiently and safely.

Our LTD-P series electric hoists and OSL-series overspeed fall arresters are designed as universal lifting tools that integrate seamlessly into:

False car installation— temporary platform suspended by RIGID hoist
Car-as-platform installation— using the elevator car itself as the work platform
Scaffold-assisted installation— traditional method with powered rail lifting
Shaft equipment lifting— doors, brackets, and wiring from the car top

Over 60 countries. Hundreds of thousands of installations. One lifting tool trusted by elevator professionals worldwide.

Compatible with Every Installation Method

Defined by elevator OEMs. Powered by RIGID.

False Car Method

RIGID hoist suspends a temporary work platform (False car). Installer works top-down, then dismantles the platform. Most flexible — works before elevator car arrives.

Car-as-Platform

RIGID hoist drives the actual elevator car down the shaft. Car roof becomes work platform. No dismantling — car is ready for final commissioning.

️Scaffold Method

RIGID MiniHoist (MH series) used as a rail lifting tool on traditional scaffold setups. Fast, wireless-controlled guide rail positioning.

Custom mounting adapter

RIGID adapters and mounting brackets fit various elevator car structures. Work with your OEM-specific work platform setup.

Scaﬀoldless Elevator Installation Technology

Elevator Car Installation method

“Elevator Car Installation Technology” refers to the use of new or existing cars as work platforms, usually using the car ceiling as a platform. However, the platform is driven by a climber rather than a traction machine. This type of technology requires using two indepen-dent means for fall protection while installing platforms. It is a fast installation process, and the elevator car can be directly used as a formal elevator car without the need for disassem-bly and assembly after being used as a platform.

Product features

The elevator car is designed to perfectly match the track spacing at its installation location, ensuring precise alignment. The installation of a top safety guarding device further enhances the system's operational safety and reliability.
With high installation eﬃciency, it utilizes a new elevator car without the need for repeated installation and removal of platforms.
The elevator car structure has high strength, meeting the requirements of heavy load operation.
By using climbers and force gauges, the top hook can be quickly detected, improving safety.
Climbers can be used for serving as guide rail lifting tools, ensuring fast and stable lifting. Using speed limiters and safety gear as one of the protective measures is more reliable.

Safety — Built In, Not Added On

Every RIGID installation hoist is backed by dual fall protection and TÜV CE-certified safety systems.

OSL Overspeed Fall Arrester

Centrifugal mechanism activates if descent exceeds 30 m/min. Two models: OSL510 (1,000 kg) and OSL512 (1,600 kg). Locking distance ≤ 200 mm.

OSL510: 1,000 kg / Ø10.2OSL512: 1,600 kg / Ø11.5

Safety Tong (Secondary Lock)

Manual or automatic secondary descent protection. Activated via speed limiter cable or manual release. Provides independent mechanical locking on guide rails.

Anti-Derailment System

An on/off limit switch installed on the platform. When the platform rises to a section without guide rails, the switch triggers and cuts the upward power supply — preventing the platform from running off the guide rails.

Force Gauge Detection

Measure top hook tension quickly with integrated force gauges and climbers. Ensures load distribution is within safe limits before work begins.

Safety Device	Model	Working Load (kg)	Tripping Speed (m/min)	Wire Rope Ø (mm)
